FOR BILLBOARDS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . The City Council of the City of Azusa
finds and declares that the Director of Planning and Community
Development has been studying the adequacy of Title 19 (Zoning)
of the City of Azusa Municipal Code with respect to billboards .
The study is reviewing the adequacy of the current code pro-
visions with respect to billboards . It is contemplated that
recommendations will be made for changes in the current provi-
sions of the Code to correct problems being identified.
Council action will be required to evaluate the results of
the studies of the problem and to implement any recommendations
developed therefrom.
SECTION 2 . Pending the conclusion of such studies
and Council action thereon, no land use entitlement, permit
(including building permit) , approval, zone clearance or
other land use authorization shall be issued, nor shall applica-
tions therefor be accepted, by the City of Azusa or its officers,
agents, or employees relating to uses involving billboards as
defined in Section 19 . 04 . 070 of the Azusa Municipal Code.
SECTION 3 . Pursuant to Government Code Sections
36934 , 36937 and 65858 , the City Council of the City of Azusa
hereby declares this ordinance to be an urgency ordinance
requiring the immediate enactment thereof because the same
is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, safety and general welfare of the City and
its citizens and, accordingly, the provisions of this ordinance
shall become effective at once as an urgency ordinance. The
facts constituting such urgency are set forth in Section 1
of this ordinance. In addition thereto, the City Council
finds and determines that the absence of this ordinance would
create a serious threat to the orderly and effective imple-
mentation of any zoning or land use plans or regulations
which may be adopted by the Council as a result of said studies
in that current development of the affected properties would
not be subject to any such new plans and would perpetuate
the zoning and land use problems which such actions would
seek to remedy.
SECTION 4 . Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858
this ordinance shall be effective for a period of 45 days from
the date of the adoption hereof, provided, however, that after
notice pursuant to said Section 65858 and public hearing, this
ordinance may be extended as provided for therein.
SECTION 5 . If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase, or word of this ordinance is for any reason
held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Azusa hereby
declares that it would have passed and adopted this ordinance
and each and all provisions thereof irrespective of the fact
that any one or more of said provisions may be declared to be
invalid.
SECTION 6 . This ordinance shall become effective
immediately upon its adoption.
SECTION 7 . The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance and shall
cause the same to be published as required by law.
